According to the author of the article that is linked to below what ACRON did was not that bad in legal terms. According to the author whether people know it are not prostitutes have to pay taxes just like any other American. In addition, according to the author, it is in the best interst of prostitutes to pay some form of taxes in that in some states the penalty for not paying taxes is worse then the penalty for being a prostitute. Finally, according to the author the clip in which the woman tells the prostitute and pimp to sign their tax forms as performing artist is legal and accurate, the IRS/legal term is 711510.

still, ACORN should have demanded release of the unedited videos so they could know for sure how bad things were. They should have investigated their own employees' claims of innocence more thoroughly as opposed to throwing them under the bus.
